I'll likely be introducing some of them into my own practice regimen.

I don't have Defensive Pistol Fundamentals, so I can't comment on any overlap.

I do have his book, Gun Digest Book of the Revolver. I highly recommend it for people new to revolvers. He covers some fundamentals, but I like it mostly for the maintenance section. I pretty much follow his recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures.

Also, if you haven't checked it out, Cunningham's blog has a lot of good information, too, and not just regarding revolvers.

Michael deBethencourt's pamphlet is a good read, too. He has a blog at snubtraining.com with lots of good information. FWIW, I use his revolver reloading method.

Another book I often recommend is Ed Lovette's The Snubby Revolver. If you don't know who he is, his background includes service as a US Army Special Forces Officer, police officer/firearms instructor (I believe with a state highway patrol agency, but I can't remember off the top of my head), and CIA paramilitary officer. He includes a lot of case studies as well as his own experience in using the snub revolver. However, there is a section where he writes favorably about exotic ammo, like Magsafe, where I disagree with him. Other than that, it's an excellent read. I've read and re-read it a few times. In fact, I may be due for another re-read soon.

Lovette also co-wrote a book with Dave Spaulding called Defensive Living that covers more generalized personal security information.
